dx 11

There's no reason. It will increase development time for marginal returns on a small sector of the PC gaming population's PCs.
You probably won't get a better visual-performance ratio with DX11 anyway, if the benchmarks are any indication even running older games Windows 7 has inferior performance to its predecessors, at the very least it's roughly equivalent.
And any DX10 native game ever released has inferior performance to its DX9 counterpart.
There's only one DX11 videocard that I know of on the market currently, and that's the 5000 series by ATI, whereas Nvidia has yet to release a counterpart and Windows 7 is quite green on the marketplace. I don't see the purpose seeing as you need either Vista or Windows 7 and a DX11 card to see any effect on your gaming whatsoever.

Indeed. Hardly anyone has the ability to use it, and most people won't for a few years.
Even DX 10 just started becoming mainstream, and now we're switching again.

if dx11 support is in the game then it automatically got dx10 and dx9 support as well, as its backwards compatible.
My guess is, if epic adds it to the engine then twi will probably implement it, else not.

first, i doubt that it will use dx10
TWI devs said somewhere that it will use Dx10 but the alpha still only uses DX9 as they run it on a xp pc or something
not 100% sure thought

dx11 actually can significantly increase performance, even if you got a dx10 or dx10.1 card.

There are rumours that there is a working UT3 copy for linux on icculus his pc, but due to physx's windows propriety it cant be released.

They should dump that proprietary PhysX crap and move to something more futureproof and open-source or at least multi-platform.
